PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita are perfect partners – with Remote Play, you can enjoy PS4 games in the palm of your hand.

Ever found yourself behind enemy lines in an epic battle, taking first place in a turbo-charged supercar, or locked into a thrilling cup final match against your bitterest rival – and someone needs to use your TV?

With Remote Play* for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, you'll never have to worry again.

Play PS4 games on your PS Vita

Remote Play is the amazing feature that lets you continue your game on your PS Vita without missing a beat. Using your home Wi-Fi network, you can play a whole range of PS4 games on the crystal-clear 5-inch PS Vita screen, including blockbuster titles like Killzone: Shadow Fall, and KNACK.

As long as your PS4 is switched on and the two systems stay connected via Remote Play, every feature of an amazing range of PS4 games will be available to play on your PS Vita – including any online multiplayer modes as well as the full single player storyline experience.

Perfect partners

Pairing your PS4 and your PS Vita for Remote Play is quick and easy – and you'll only have to do it once for the two systems to stay connected.

Below is our quick-start guide to setting up Remote Play:

First, sign in to your Sony Entertainment Network account on both your PS4 and your PS Vita using the same account details.

Ensure that you're within Wi-Fi signal range so that a strong connection can be made between your PS4 and PS Vita systems.

On your PS4, go to the Settings menu, select PS Vita Connection Settings, then choose Add Device – this will generate a unique code that you'll need for pairing the two systems.

Next, on your PS Vita, open the PS4 Link app. This app will have been installed as part of the system software 3.0 update, so make sure your PS Vita is up to date. Choose Remote Play from the app, search for your PS4, then enter your code when prompted.

Your PS4 and PS Vita will now be linked – anything that your PS4 displays will also be shown on your PS Vita screen. You'll need to keep your PS4 switched on and stay within Wi-Fi range to use Remote Play, but you're free to change the channel of your TV, or switch it off completely.

Now you're ready to unlock your PS Vita system's full potential and start playing PS4 games on the crystal-clear 5-inch display.
